Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 9. - 1 know that, etc. Rather, "I know it, for thou art good in my sight," i.e. 1 know all that thou wouldst say as to thy trustworthiness, and assent to it. As an angel of God. I.e. as a messenger of God, as one set to me by God.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) As an angel of God.--Again a simile, which Achish most likely borrowed from Hebrew thought, and made use of in his graceful courtesy as likely to be acceptable to David.
